It’s called Hunger, folks, and it’s part of the steadily growing subgenre of “people trapped in a room”. It’s getting tough to find good examples of this one any more, as they’re rapidly getting played out. But Hunger may be a bit more than the rest, and it’s making the festival rounds literally as we speak.
Featuring terror hotties Laura Albyn, Linden Ashby, Lori Heuring and Lea Kohl, Hunger is set to be a “dark exploration into the breakdown of humanity”. Five strangers are, somehow, trapped in an underground bunker without food, part of the social experiment of a lunatic. How long before the gravity of the situation overwhelms their capacity for reason and compassion?
The SIXTH teaser poster has emerged for All About Evil, a movie that will feature a whole slew of terror hotties, including Natasha Lyonne, Cassandra Peterson, and in a huge twist, drag star Peaches Christ will be involved too, playing…herself.
Yes, the story of the mousy librarian who takes over the local movie house and decides to spark things up by making her own snuff films is still well underway, and it’ll actually get its debut at the Castro Theater as part of the San Francisco International Film Festival May 1st.
See, this is a REALLY clever concept that doesn’t have a whole lot of life to it, but is a clever concept nonetheless. Basically, Last Call, a movie that features the fairly cliched plotline of a heroine charging through an abandoned sanatorium that seems to have a few uninvited–and unlikely–guests. And as the heroine goes charging through, she’ll take out her mobile phone and, get this, CALL THE AUDIENCE.
Okay, we’re all well aware by now that there will be PLENTY of terror hotties involved in the upcoming release of Piranha 3-D, right? But despite the fact that the movie comes out August 27th, it’s true–they’re adding cast.
But what are they adding for? Apparently, they’re setting up a couple of extra trailers, and early word suggests they’re making one of them in the style of a Girls Gone Wild parody that will likely be attacked by piranhas.
Terror hottie Kinsey Packard is coming back for more with the upcoming release of Nuclear Family. And that’s not even the best part–she’ll be joined by small-time genre favorites Corin Nemec and Ray Wise.
The early word about Nuclear Family is that it’s going to be, get this–”a post-apocalyptic action / drama with lots of fighting, blood and gunplay.”
Talk about a shocker, folks–there’s word from Alice Braga about the upcoming “Predators” that’s almost too bizarre to be believed. Here’s what she had to say about the movie coming out July 9th:
“I don’t know that, I think they might try to do PG-13, but I’m not sure. I’m not sure, I hope not actually. You know what, I think they [might] not [be able to do it PG-13] because there are some dark scenes in it, like the other films. So I think it’s going to be R. But going back to [a previous] question about editing, we never know what’s going to happen. But it looks really dark and really nice. I think, I had fun.”
For those of you who have been eagerly awaiting the return of Night of the Demons, especially given that the remake is going to be so crammed full of terror hotties that it’s not even funny, you’ll be happy to know that a release date has, finally, been announced.
It’s September 23rd.
Featuring Diora Baird, Shannon Elizabeth, Monica Keena, Bobbi Sue Luther and Tiffany Shepis, Night of the Demons sends a bunch of kids out for a Halloween party in an abandoned–and ultimately demonically possessed–house that they’ll never forget.
All right, fellow horror geeks, I know we’re all looking forward to a SyFy channel original movie for the first time in like forever because they finally made a really bright casting move. Yes, our beloved Felicia Day–whom you’ll remember from Dollhouse, The Guild and Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog–will be back soon, and the first images of her in the midst of her new duties are just now coming out.
And yes, the title is legit–Felicia Day will portray a descendant of the original Little Red Riding Hood, whose family has apparently sworn to destroy werewolves wherever they find them. Not surprisingly, Felicia’s character has become engaged (after all, she looks like Felicia Day. How could she NOT get a boyfriend?) and she’s taking him to meet the folks. But in the midst of this, Red’s family business rears its ugly head and the fiance gets bitten by a werewolf. Now Red’s got to find a cure before the rest of the family follows through on its mission and kills the fiance but good.
It’s one of the biggest film festivals around, folks–South By Southwest storms into Texas this time every year, and in its wake, we get lots and lots of great newsy bits about upcoming movies.
Chances are that, when you think Jamie Lynn Sigler, you think “The Sopranos”. And that’d be a fair guess, because that was sort of her big thing. But she’s also a terror hottie, following her appearance in the After Dark Horrorfest title Dark Ride. And she’ll cement that reputation a little further with Wake.
For those of you who’ve been looking forward to the terror hottie packed bacchanal that is Descent 2, you’ll be happy to know that a trailer has emerged and is already making the rounds.
We’ll be rejoining Sarah, who’s just been hijacked by the local constabulary following the disappearance of everybody else who went with her on a caving expedition. Said local constabulary doesn’t much approve of Sarah’s story about subterranean pseudo-people who lunched up on her party, and thus pick her up and take her back to the caves so that she can lead a new party down. Of course, this party will be significantly better armed than the previous (they ARE the law, after all) but will that be enough to tackle the subterranean hordes?
Don’t know what it is about werewolves these days (are they the new vampires or what?) but they’re steadily showing up in all sorts of places you’d never expect. And a new werewolf project has just taken on a whole new life by officially bringing on board Amanda Seyfried.
You probably remember her as the mousy friend from Jennifer’s Body, and she’ll be joining Twilight director Catherine Hardwicke in The Girl With The Red Riding Hood, which is being described as, get this, “a gothic retelling of Little Red Riding Hood with a teenage love triangle at the center”.
For those of you out there who kept up with Dr. Horrible’s Sing Along Blog or The Guild, your patience will be rewarded as we discover that Felicia Day has gone terror hottie.
She’ll be joining the cast of Red, a Syfy channel movie featuring Day as the descendent of–get this!–the original Little Red Riding Hood. She brings her fiance home one day and fills him in on the family business: hunting werewolves. Naturally, he doesn’t buy this sort of thing one teensy bit, until a werewolf actually bites him.
So the word is that Juno Temple will be replacing Alison Pill (who in turn replaced Ellen Page) in the upcoming lesbian horror romp Jack and Diane. Olivia Thirlby fans will be pleased to note that she’s not going anywhere, meanwhile.
I said this was a “lesbian horror romp” and I pretty much meant it–it features two teenage girls who discover that they’ve got a thing for each other find themselves facing a horrible set of circumstances. The duo are going to have to split up soon as one’s leaving the country, and the one who’s leaving the country is having hallucinations about werewolves.
But what about Jennifer Carpenter? you ask. Well, that’s a little less clear.
For those of you who enjoyed Quarantine as much as I did, the remake is already underway, under the writing AND direction of John Pogue, whom you’ll remember from not much in particular including all three installments of The Skulls and Ghost Ship from Dark Castle.
There’s something to be said for giving away the entire point of an article in the headline, I say, so you’ll be interested to know that Black Eve is already well underway.
New stills and a teaser trailer have emerged for the film, and here’s the really interesting part of the whole mess (or at least the part that’s interesting to us)–it features Veronika London, who’s already being described as “the Megan Fox of Hollywood North” by no less than Maxim.
